The programme enables you to analyse the economic behaviour of households, businesses and governments and their interactions in markets. At the same time, you will learn the mathematical skills that complement economic theories from a more analytical perspective. In economics, you will study economic behaviour associated with a range of settings such as households, businesses and governments. Topics may also include the functioning of markets and the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. In mathematics, you will deepen your understanding of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics.These constituent disciplines complement each other in providing better insight about economic theories from a more advanced mathematical angle. You will graduate with a range of skills and capabilities, both subject-related and more general, lifelong skills, such as analytical ability, critical thinking and advanced quantitative skills. You may also have the opportunity to take a placement, between years two and three of your studies, so you can apply theories and concepts to real world organisations (visa restrictions apply).
